“This? That’s not good!”

Yang Zhi was very embarrassed. Su Hanxuan had booked a restaurant for him to accompany Brother Ji, but he had helped Zhizhou find his daughter halfway and neglected the guest.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. It happened so suddenly. It’s more important to find someone.”

Ji Shuisheng cupped his fists and bid farewell. He took the wheelbarrow from Su Qing and walked out of the alley.

Their identities couldn’t withstand a detailed investigation. It was safer to leave as soon as possible.

“Brother Ji, aren’t you going to sign the contract?”

Yang Zhi chased after him and asked. Did he trust him so much that he would give the goods to him without a written contract?

Ji Shuisheng smiled and said,

“I believe in Brother Yang’s character. In the future, there will be many things that we will trouble Brother Yang with. There is no need to rush the delivery of goods. It is more important to find the young Miss first. It is fine if it is a few days later. However, I want to ask Brother Yang for something as a guarantee.” “What is it?”

Yang Zhi was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked.

“I want a guarantee with the escort flag of your Zhenyuan Escort Agency. I want to prove that I have indeed hired Brother Yang. When the cotton clothes are delivered to Jingshi Duo, I will return the original escort flag.”

Ji Shuisheng’s request is not too much. He’d already given him the goods and money. All he needs is a dart flag as a guarantee.

Qiu Yongkang looked at Ji Shuisheng in admiration. The most challenging problem was solved by Shuisheng so easily.

The customs clearance documents were easy to forge, but the escort flag was a big problem. To make the escort flag, one needed official documents. Moreover, the shop that made the escort flag in Luo City must be familiar with Yang Zhi. If a stranger took the document of the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency to make the escort flag, the boss would ask Yang Zhi about it, and the truth would be exposed.

Most importantly, making the dart flag would take at least four days. How could they have four days to wait?

Therefore, the escort flag was the biggest problem. An escort agency without an escort flag could be seen to be fake at a glance.

“No problem; I’ll return to the Bodyguard Agency immediately and send someone to send the flag to the cloth shop.”

Hearing that Ji Shuisheng only wanted his flag, Yang Zhi readily agreed. He only wanted a guarantee. If he dared not place the flag in Brother Ji’s hands, why would he hand over the goods and money to him?

Seeing that he had successfully obtained the escort flag, Ji Shuisheng smiled and cupped his fists.

“Alright, we’ll wait for Brother Yang at the cloth shop.”

“Alright.”

Yang Zhi returned the greeting and sent Ji Shuisheng and the others out of the alley before returning to ask Xiao Yan about the exact location of Miss Luan’s disappearance.

“When you chased after them, did you find a carriage pulling people?”

Yang Zhi was a Jianghu person and knew a lot of dirty Jianghu tricks. The servant girl chased after Miss Luan and disappeared. It was very likely that Miss Luan was drugged and stuffed into the carriage. This was the only explanation.

“A carriage?”

Yang Zhi reminded Xiao Yan. When she chased him to the back street, a carriage was driving in the opposite direction. She then told Yang Zhi with certainty,

“Yes, there was a carriage with a green shed. It almost hit me.”

“That’s right.”

“Chief Qiu, please bring some people to look for the carriage that Xiao Yan mentioned. I’ll return immediately and get someone to look for it with you.”

Yang Zhi immediately made a judgment and turned around to tell Chief Qiu.

Qiu Yongkang and Ji Shuisheng heard Yang Zhi’s words. Qiu Yongkang said to Ji Shuisheng,

“This Yang Zhi is brilliant.”

“It’s better to associate with smart people than stupid people.”

Ji Shuisheng was also very impressed by Yang Zhi. His mind was too sharp, and he was a talent. He wanted to befriend him even more. If he wanted to achieve great things, he needed capable subordinates.

Qiu Yongkang agreed with Ji Shuisheng. An intelligent person could see through things quickly; it was not tiring to associate with such a person.

Su Residence

Su Hanxuan hurried back to the North Street mansion. On the way, the servant girl told him the reason for Madam’s illness.

“Luan Zhizhou’s wife came today and brought a portrait. She closed the door and spoke to Madam. I don’t know what she said. Madam fell ill as soon as she left and shouted,” Miss’s name.”

“A portrait?”

Su Hanxuan was shocked. He had already seen the portrait. The wanted woman looked exactly like his wife when she was young. She was also about the same age as their lost daughter, Xiao Xi.

He had long suspected that the woman was Xiao Xi, so he had sent people to guard the city gate. As long as they found a woman who looked similar to the portrait, they would bring her back safely at all costs.

Madam had been suffering from a demonic illness since her daughter went missing. When the sickness escalated, she would cry out her daughter’s name and crazily self-mutilate herself.

In the past ten years, he had found countless famous doctors to treat Madam. It had always been good or bad. Every month around the time her daughter went missing, she would fall ill and hurt herself. Her arm was cut until it was bloody.

She had already had a relapse this year, but he did not expect it to happen again.

“Don’t come over. Don’t come over.”

Su Hanxuan walked to the backyard anxiously. He heard his wife’s sharp cry when he arrived at the back hall. Su Hanxuan quickened his pace and pushed open the door to the back hall.

The sunlight shone into the dark room, and Yang Ruxue’s bloody arm appeared in Su Hanxuan’s sight. Her hair was messy, and her thin face was as pale as paper. She held a pair of scissors in her hand and pointed it at the servant girls who wanted to get close. Large drops of blood dripped down, and the ground was already covered in blood.

“Xiao Xi, it’s all my fault. I lost you. Where are you? Where are you?”

Yang Ruxue shouted her daughter’s name. She hated herself for not protecting her well. She took the scissors and stabbed her arm.

The three-year-old Little Chen stretched out his chubby little hands in the nanny’s arms, looking for his mother to carry him. He cried with tears all over his face and called out for his mother.

Su Hanxuan rushed over and grabbed the sharp knife, about to stab Yang Ruxue’s arm. The sharp scissors pierced his palm, and blood instantly flowed down, mixing with the pool of blood on the ground.

“Ruxue, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault.”

Su Hanxuan endured the pain and snatched the scissors away. Yang Ruxue collapsed into his arms when she saw her husband and cried her heart out.

” Brother Xuan, I didn’t protect Xiao Xi well. It’s all my fault. I’m not worthy of being a mother.”

“I don’t blame you. I don’t blame you for that scene back then.”

That year, there were many wandering soldiers. These people used the name of protecting the people of Great Xia to rob and demand money everywhere. Yang Ruxue brought her daughter to the monastery to offer incense and returned to meet these wandering soldiers, causing her daughter to be lost in the chaos.

“It’s my fault. I didn’t protect Xiao Xi well. Xiao Xi, where are you? Mother misses you so much.”

Yang Ruxue cried until her body went limp. Suddenly, she grabbed Su Hanxuan’s arm tightly and looked at him with tears. She shouted at him at the top of her lungs,

” Brother Xuan, save Xiao Xi. Save our daughter. They are looking for her everywhere. Save her, save her quickly.”

“I’ll save her. I’ll save my daughter. Take medicine.”

Su Hanxuan pinched his wife’s bleeding wrist and gently coaxed her to take medicine. He gently coaxed his wife to take medicine. He turned to Yang Ruxue’s nanny and gestured for her to bring the medicine.

“Drink the medicine. You’ll be fine after drinking it.”

“I’m not drinking. I want to find my daughter. I want to protect her.”

Who knew that Yang Ruxue, who had been quiet just now, would suddenly smack the medicine bowl in Su Hanxuan’s hand and rush out of the door?
